The Racist in Me

Muslim women suffer in non-Muslim state from a lot of pressure, between the strong desire to preserve the religion and Islamic body, and between racist campaigns waged by Western governments that raise the false slogans of freedom for the Muslim headscarf Muslim. Women take off prohibited by unfair of the simplest Western laws rights to adhere to the teachings of Islam and its practices, the governments of these countries continues to grab the freedom of women to wear the hijab remains, and even the freedom of Muslims to practice their rituals. Despite the establishment of thousands of Muslims in these countries, but it seems the issue of institutional organization of Islam European issue linked to the specificities of the relationship between the state and churches rather than the inability of Muslims to adapt, due resisting recognition of Islam to the European mentality rather than a legal or institutional barriers.

Muslims in Europe are unable to make their voices heard in an equal manner as the remains, has forced the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently to intervene with the French consulate in the (Chicago), a young woman in favor of a Muslim to be able to wear it when you pick up a copy of the passport, and that’s what did not get it Muslims in France.

Holland also began implementing a law to ban the wearing of the veil; it recommended that a study by the Dutch Council of Ministers to apply this law under the allegations that this veil is bad for women, and medieval when a woman to walk in the street completely covered, and that in them of an insult to everyone who believes in equal rights, in a move to stifle everything that is linked to Islam from a legitimate outfit or religious rituals.

Religious rituals.

Racism did not exist in my life as a Muslims, because my country supports all races and colors and religions and does not differentiate between Arabic or foreign. We honor and respect anyone. As we have places in Saudi Arabia it is reserved for foreigners, which does not allow the entry of Arabs, such as the tourist beaches and also some residential resorts. They have complete freedom in these places don’t have to wear the hijab inside it. Also, there are many foreign schools such as the British and the French school and the US and others. And the Muslims families enrolled their children studying in the public schools, and I had an American friend at the intermediate stage.

But when I came to American States began with me strange sensations, and I could not make friends easily, and relations with students who are different of my and some times I feel some students notice me curious and sometimes ask me what regards religion and mock thereby greatly impacted me.

And one day, I was studying in Virginia, and I was on my way home, but as usual the same group of the young girls and boys see them on a daily basis and thrown greeted them, but they always and never answer.

And suddenly they walked behind me, I scared and I get to the supermarket was close to me and I called my husband and told him there something strange happened I could not walk to the house I waited him to be arrived and went into the house.

Then my husband asked me, if I prefer to tell the police what had happened?

I said no I thought there were Teens, and nothing happened.

Over the week and I did not Show them and suddenly they came and make a circle of me and the intensity of the fear of them I did not understand what they were saying unless I am a terrorist and I want to kill them, and they began to take my head scarf off my head and quickly called the police and they came in the fastest time and the signed not to do that to me again.

However, I soon left this city and come here.

As a mother and from an Arab woman culture we like to recognize and welcome neighbors. Now I have three neighbors the first one old woman living alone and I always visit her have some sweets and tea she is really nice.

The second are black there are good and they always welcome me and my husband and my daughters. But the third Family is very rod repeatedly trying to pacify them, but their mother doesn’t like. With all that when I see her out of the house I smile at her and greeting because I always offer peace.
